Sunshine and Cold Air - Cooperstown's Off Season
Banking some sunshine before the snow arrives
Saturday was extremely cold outside. Temperatures overnight on Friday were below zero Fahrenheit before wind chill was factored in. Saturday morning saw temps topping out around 5 degrees above zero, or -15C.
The sun was out, and the blue sky looked deceptively warm and inviting. With 16-20” of snow in the forecast for Sunday night and Monday, the next couple of days are likely going to be spent mostly indoors. So I got outside to store up as much sunshine as I could.
At the marina, the open water being maintained by the bubblers around the docks is the only movement. The pumps are holding their own against the freezing water, despite the cold temps. The rest of the lake and the marina seem to be paused, waiting for the coming storm.
In the summer, the walkway next to the marina was lined with flowers and decorative grasses. There are still a few remnants left, stubbornly standing in the cold, even though they are well past their season.
Spending a little time outdoors before the snowstorm closes in on us was refreshing today, despite the cold. If it were a little warmer, I would have liked to stay out longer, but the warmth of my vehicle was calling.
